Things to do in Pensacola, Florida (FL): The Best Shopping
If you're looking for some great Florida beaches but aren't necessarily interested in a mega-resort or theme park atmosphere, Pensacola might just be the place for your perfect weekend. Home to Gulf Islands National Seashore, the city offers some of the best fishing and boating in the area. Inland, canoeing enthusiasts won't want to miss the beauty of the Blackwater River. Closer to town, the city has a proud military heritage, which can be seen at attractions like the National Museum of Naval Aviation and the Pensacola Naval Air Station.

This is an artist's co-op, and we enjoyed looking around and seeing the different works on display for purchase. Painting and photography were the most common mediums, but there was a little bit of everything. I enjoyed it.

I found several original watercolor cards and pieces of jewelry that I loved. So many beautiful paintings and pieces of jewelry to see! Someone told me when I came into the gallery that if I wanted something custom designed, one of the artists would sit down and work with me. I look forward to shopping there again the next time I'm in the area.

Stopped to checkout what Joe Patti had to offer. I could not believe the selection of fish and shell food they had for sale. In addition a bakery with wonderful looking deserts and a deli area with things like crab cakes. We are in the area for the entire month and plan to shop here at least once a month.

What a great artist collective. Many types of art here- photography, ceramics, metal working. Some is beach themed and others not. An eclectic mix, you will find something you love.

Since moving to a small town in Florida, I have really missed a good art/farmers market! We had a great time. Fruit, veggies, plants, art, pastries and coffee! Got myself a couple of baby trees, a pie, a loaf of crusty bread and some vegan treats for my daughter. We'll be going back often!
